Dark Blue Girl (Die Tochter)

Luca?

I know it's hard to understand

but everything's gonna be fine. Okay?

When we get back from holiday,

Daddy's gonna move out.

We're breaking up.

But it's not your fault.

Do you hear, Luca?

We love you more than anything and will always be there for you.

Nothing's ever gonna change that.

The elephant will protect you even when I'm not around.

Luca, you'll never lose me.

Dad.

DARK BLUE GIRL

TWO YEARS LATER

Is Mom home? - No.

Okay.

With milk?

When will she be back?

Dunno.

With milk? - Yep.

No way!

Third late notice! - Daddy!

Your coffee is ready!

What's going on, hasn't she been paying any bills?

Daddy!

If Mom finds out you opened her mail she's gonna be really mad, you know that!

Look, if I don't open the letters,

nobody pays the bills

and you'll end up on the street.

Are we going to the movies today?

I was plastering all day in the cold,

I'm not going anywhere today.

I'll go by myself then.

Fine.

Then I can watch our favorite TV show in peace:

"Watergirl".

What? Watergirl isn't on today!

It was meant to be a surprise.

But you'd rather go to the cinema.

I went to see the broadcasting guys yesterday.

Straight to the manager's office.

He was gobsmacked.

I took him and looked him straight in the eye:

"Listen up, you douchebag!

"I'm visiting my daughter tomorrow

and I want you to show her favorite show! Capito?

"A double-bill, in fact!"

Hello. You've reached Hannah and Luca Papadakis.

Leave your message after the beep.

Hello, this is Mr. Steingrüber,

I'm calling about your holiday home ad that me and my wife saw on the internet.

You can call me back on 01747720536.

We've been searching for a house like that on the island for a very long time

and are very much interested in your offer.

It'd be great if you could give us a call back.

Steingrüber is my name. Bye.

The message has been deleted.

Hey! - Jimmy!

You're here already.

Nice.

You've been working pretty hard, huh?

Shall I cook us something nice?

I thought you had plans tonight.

Sometimes I just need my little family.

Spaghetti?

Good.

Great.

Jimmy!

It's just for the color. Otherwise, she feels left out.

I forgot the parmesan.

Don't start without me, okay?

Here goes!

Parmesan?

Do you like it?

I haven't really tried it yet, Hannah.

Fine. At least I like it.

I'm just not a big fan of pasta, you know that.

How did that casting go last week?

Pretty well. - Cool.

I did a great crying scene.

Yeah, I bet.

Hello?

I asked you not to call me at home.

No, wait a second.

Wait, I'll put you through to the other phone, okay?

Luca, could you please hang up when I'm in the other room?

I won't be long, okay?

You can hang up!

Right, I'm here now! - Nice to hear you. I've missed you.

Steffen! Wait a moment.

Can you please hang up?

Are you still mad at me, Hannah? - We're having dinner and Jimmy is here.

I'd really like to see you.

She heard me the whole time.

You were rustling too much.

You've gotta stay quiet!

And?

Let me see how everything goes tonight.

Maybe I'll find the time to come meet you.

Yeah.

See you. Bye.

It doesn't really get the glasses clean anymore.

There's something wrong with it.

Or maybe it just needs some salt.

I don't know.

I'll take a look at it. - Great.

Really?

Oh, that's so nice of you!

Wow, Jimmy. Thank you!

"Oh, thank you, Jimmy!"

I've got so many bills to pay. - Then pay them!

And Luca needs new trousers. - Yeah, of course!

Don't you wanna sleep here tonight? I mean, it's late...

No, I'm fine. I can drive home.

You can sleep in Luca's room! No worries. She'd be so happy.

And you'd have some more time with each other.

Thanks.

Jimmy?

Would it be alright with you if I went out tonight after all?

Sure.

Thanks!

Okay, my darlings, I'm gonna go.

Hello?

Could you at least say bye to me?

Or would you rather I stayed?

One times six? - Six.

Two times six? - Twelve.

Three times six? - 18.

Four times six? - 24.

Five times six?

30!

18 times 19?

Need to spit!

Dad?

Daddy, what's going on?

Get me some water!

Daddy, what's wrong with you?

Daddy!

Daddy, what's wrong with you?

What's wrong?

What's going on?

I don't know. I can't breathe.

And then you feel dizzy.

Yeah, sometimes.

And you have a stabbing pain in your heart.

And if it happens again, I call the fire brigade.

That's right.

And what do you say?

Help! Hurry up! My dad's having a heart attack.

And you say the address.

I'm scared.

Don't worry.

It's just in case of an emergency.

I love you.

I love you too.

What are you doing?

I...

I'm making a protective circle around you.

So nothing happens to you.

Guess you got that esoteric stuff from your mom, right?

Okay, Luca, time to sleep now.

Small steps, small steps.

That's it.

And now your spine. Watch out!

That's it, now get up again!

Keep going!

Yeah, like that! Great!

Really good. And now...

Walk up slowly.

Wow, nice.

Jimmy, can you please go now?

I need some time for myself now! It's too loud!

Don't look at me like that!

You had longer together than usual.

But he can stay a bit longer!

I haven't slept all night. I need some peace and quiet now.

I'm going back to bed, okay?

What kind of tone was that?

I'm not a child she can push around.

Are you jealous of Steffen and Mom?

I don't give a damn about Hannah's men.

I just don't want that guy settling in here.

They'll probably not let me see you at all in the end.

I dunno.

Don't go!

I'll call you tomorrow.

Promise!

But don't smoke!

Bye!

Bye!

Are you still not talking to me?

Luca, I'm sorry about earlier.

But it was too much for me.

I'm really, really sad.

Steffen broke up with me.

I don't care.

Why?

Well, it's not that easy.

Everybody's got their life
